My husband two sons and friends had a lovely evening meal. The service was also fantastic always made sure we had enough to eat and drink and the music was brilliant. Would really recommend the central bar for atmosphere , food and friendly service. Excellent

My first service proved lengthily yet average in the year of 2007. In 2010 Myself and a group of roughly 15 visited. To say the least the quality of food was terrible. It was a group visit that inevitably was not effectively catered for as others waited somewhat longer than necessary.
The company clearly employs workers for it's culture which shows no innovation what-so-ever for change. Un-polite management are the fault for a non-quality filled service and with their tone, lack of curtsy and clear objective to make PROFIT only,.. this is undoubtedly the main reason staff come across as unempowered and demotivated. Also the position of management for some proves unqualified. With a high staff turnover and main employees being related you can be commended for still actually being open.

To conclude I would not recommend this establishment, however if in Ballycastle do visit Margo's, O'Connors or The Pantry for a delightful service and AMAZING food that is ""VALUE FOR MONEY"" !!!!!

Had the rib-eye steak, was unreal!! Good portion, so perfectly cooked I didn't even need sauce, will be back.

Waiter we had was friendly and did her job fantastic!

Nice surroundings, clean, felt comfortable and relaxed, brilliant evening!

Ate at Central Wine Bar at lunch time. Food was very reasonable and of excellent quality. Children enjoyed their food also. Husband had steak bagette and I had pasta. Portions were huge and staff were very friendly. It is clearly not a 5 star venue but with lunches costing around £6 what do you expect!

Have to agree with previous reviewer, had read about this place on Tripadvisor, and decided to give it a try over the New year, but was not impressed by the food or service at all, fish was not fresh but frozen and the ribeye like well worn shoeleather and not cooked medium rare as requested. Everything is covered in a multi coloured pesto, even my friends dish that was served in a questionable gravy had pesto on it! Nice surroundings cannot make up for "seasonal local produce" that is promised but sadly not delivered. Had hoped for better, will not be back.

whoever wrote the 3 reviews for The Central Wine Bar, Ballycastle that i read must work there,poor sevice,food good but portions so poor had to buy extra portions to substansiate a good meal,and the price did not reflect the meal.

I spent the weekend in ballycastle, I went to the Central Wine Bar for my dinner and i was very impressed with the service that I got. the staff were more than helpful and the food was totally devine and very very good value for money. I stayed in the central as one of the members of staff informed me that there was music being played at night time. and i had a fantastic night. will definatly be back and will be telling all my friends about the time I had at the central wine bar. keep up the excellent work
